New Images of Transformers Cloud Roadbuster

First time I've been here for a while, but after seeing the thumbnail thinking it was a 30th Anniversary Energon Ironhide I'm kinda disappointed that its roadbuster.

Why you do this?

That is to say, I will be waiting patiently until these go on clearance.

speaking of... isnt it surprising the first clouds (megs and op) arent on clearance? aside from brawn, i figured those two to be the least desirable.

To be fair, Roadbuster is the name for Energon Ironhide in Japan... so it all works out

He's looking good. That Brawn looks pretty good too. I do like these Cloud releases- Hellwarp and Roadbuster/Ironhide are on my list for sure, and I may very well bite down on Brawn.

Also, now I have an excuse to buy all 3 versions of the FP Roadbuster mold whilst still getting the HasTak mold. Hooray!

Screw the cloud continuity, Im going to use him as G1 crosshairs as it was pointed out earlier. I already got the mastershooter collectibles targetmaster that works with the mold.

Both eHobby_shop and Takaratomymall has taken to twitter to show off the latest images of Cloud Hellwarp and Roadbuster. Takaratomymall tweeted an image that shows off Cloud Rodimus with Cloud Roadbuster, while eHobby_shop shows off Hellwarp with G1 Skywarp which is the inspiration for his deco.

I noticed Energion Ironhide is not present as a reference. Subtle.

We don't need to mention this every time. Maybe when they tweet a picture of him next to Energon Ironhide

So I have cloud Starscream in-hand. Is this thing officially out yet?

2015 generations energon Ironhide using this figure I shall welcome

Others talking bout me : TF: energon fanboy

Me: thanks for the complement

Rodimus Prime has done some good flying in a spaceship. Didn't he crash a ship into someone's eye?

He is pretty awesome, the shoulder issue is still there with the mold but paint apps are really nice, Not sure if we can tell from any of the pictures we've seen before but the chest is a really nice red metallic color. the MP null rays can fit in the back like we've seen before but the fit was really tight and I have to shave the hole a little bit before I can get it in on one of the shoulders. Not sure if that is a general issue or if it was just mine. Only problem is that now that I have him... I don't really know where to display him with.. Kind of a one of sorta deal I think if you're not collecting the whole cloud line that is.

here is a crappy cell phone pic

yeah a little bit of both. they already made an original triple changing Springer (besides 1986 version) but can't make an original Rodimus... w/ a trailer?

So you love it... but it's not good enough?

yeah, wasnt expecting a shoulder fix. thanks for the pic!

i plan on getting him as well, but didnt think of "where" he belongs until you mentioned it...

If it helps any, almost all of the Cloud cameos were either in FoC or Classics-verse bodies. In fact, Cloud Starscream's first body was repurposed from FoC Starscream.

But it's Hot Rod, not Rodimus Prime.

Honestly I'd get Cloud Megatron if I didn't already have 2 Megatrons and wasn't after the original version of the Bludgeon mold.

The official Takara Tomy YouTube channel has updated with a video of the upcoming Cloud Roadbuster figure, showing off his transformation. We've embedded the tweet linking us to the video, the video itself, and before you check those out, please stop by our galleries of the Generations Roadbuster mold, on which this figure is based, and the Energon Ironhide mold that it homages.

Here are the embeds below:

I think I'm gonna get that [s]Crosshairs[/s] Roadbuster figure. Roddy is cool to the more I look at him but no. I love how the Autobots all seem to have their arms up like they are cheering over a wrestling match

Flashwave wrote:I love how the Autobots all seem to have their arms up like they are cheering over a wrestling match

Yeah, there's a bit of a story behind this video.

The reason the other three are all yelling near the beginning, and then cheering at the end, is because there was a previous video posted of a woman who tried to transform the Roadbuster toy before, but failed to because she couldn't figure it out. This video serves as a follow up to that one, with the person in this video succeeding where the other one didn't.

Here's the first video with the failed transformation attempt:

what are hey timing self for when transforming figure?

Wow. I didn't realize the Roadbuster mold was so retardedly simple until now.

Nagi Miyako has just posted a lot of the artwork he did for Takara Tomy on his Deviant Art account. These artworks are created for the Transformers Cloud story chapters. Check these amazing artwork we've mirrored below for your viewing pleasures and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

Wow, that looked like a lot of work! Each one amazingly well drawn and coloured... Could do without that hentai girl in one of them though.

MegaDump wrote:Wow, that looked like a lot of work! Each one amazingly well drawn and coloured... Could do without that hentai girl in one of them though.

hentai? Btw, you do know it's meaning eh? hentai means not normal, perverted. I don't see anything about her beyond the norm from typical anime moe kawaii renders. She ain't naked, more like a cyborg.

Maybe it's you who's ******? <--- Staff edit by Autobot032: No, just no. Don't post comments like that again, please.

Art is just outstanding. By any chance was the artist also responsible for the Robot Master and Superlink mini comics?

That art is amazing. It's quite possibly the best Transformers comic work I've ever seen. Just such painstaking detail. Wow.

The inclusion of Circuit Breaker is an odd one, at least to me, but perhaps in the story line it makes sense.

The art with BWII Glavatron's head is posted twice.

Circuit Breaker? Do you mean the teal-haired girl robot? That's SARA, a supercomputer intelligence given a humanoid form.

Ah.

There is some really nice artwork there! I'm still not sure what the whole Cloud thing is all about, and was not too keen on the looks of the toys themselves, but dang that is pretty art.

Nice artwork. See Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus again, wonder if he'll get a cloud release, as I don't think he's been released in Japan yet?

that art brings a ridiculous amount of life to straight repaint line. makes me wish there was a show built around it!

I love this art!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He turned out to be a red herring. As it is now, the Cloud line is fully revealed after Roadbuster and Hellwarp, and the story is over, done.

Looks good until you get to the stupid generic aninimu girl. Could have done with out it.

That's amazing art. I haven't been following the Cloud story but I really want some of the toys (Roadbuster/Ironhide and Hellwarp especially) and those art pieces are phenomenal.

Also am I the only one who likes the cute anime girl thing? I dunno, I think she's adorable.

Doubledealer93 wrote:Looks good until you get to the stupid generic aninimu girl. Could have done with out it.

That thing is a computer intelligence, not a girl. SARA is its name.

Whatever she is, she's adorable and I want to pat her on the head.
